1. INTRODUCTION

Quiet Revolution Manufacturing Limited (QRML) are submitting a planning application to

Rossendale Borough Council (RBC) for a proposed new wind turbine development at Lower

Dean Head, Dean Lane, Bacup, Rossendale, Lancashire (the site).

DBS Environmental Limited (DBS) has been commissioned by QRML to prepare a Coal

Mining Risk Assessment report for the proposed development site, in order to provide the

Local Planning Authority (LPA) with information on coal mining and an assessment of its

potential impact on land stability in relation to the proposed development.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Coal Authority

guidance document, "Risk Based Approach to Development Management, Resources for

Developers (2013)".

1.1 Background

The Coal Authority is a statutory consultee on planning applications for new development

within coal mining areas, as they have a specific responsibility to manage the environmental

legacy of coal mining.

The Coal Authority has used its mining records to provide LPAs within coalfield areas with

GIS data to identify if a development site falls within an area of potential concern with

regards to risks from shallow mining. The coalfield within any one location is divided up into

two spatial areas, "High Risk" and "Low Risk". If a site falls within a low risk area, no

mining information needs to be provided to the LPA to support a planning application. If a

site falls within a high risk area, then a desk based coal mining risk assessment report is

required and the Coal Authority will be consulted by the LPA as to the findings of the report,

and any proposed measures to make the site safe during redevelopment.

RBC therefore require a desk based risk assessment for the proposed wind turbine site to

support a planning application for a change of use at the site, as it falls within a

development high risk area for mining.

1.2 Site Location and Description

The site is located at Lower Dean Head, Dean Lane, Bacup, Rossendale, Lancashire, OL13

8RG. Turbine 1 is situated at National Grid Reference 385574, 425995, turbine 2 is located

at National Grid Reference 385596, 425990.



The site is located in an area described as an “enclosed upland”, comprising moorland

enclosed with grit stone walls, with the surrounding landscape dotted with numerous remote

small farms. The site itself currently comprises open ground, and there are features of

historical industrial activity in the surrounding area comprising disused coal mines and

quarries, reflecting the sites location within the mineral rich moors.

A site location plan is presented in Appendix 1.

Access to the site is gained via existing access to the field, with the nearest named road

being Dean Lane.

There is a network of pylons and high voltage cables to the north of the site at the top of

the slope, the pylons are orientated approximately east/west.

1.3 Description and Layout of the Proposed Development

The development proposal involves the erection of two micro wind turbines mounted on two

fifteen metre towers with grid connection. The turbines will provide Lower Dean Head with

a source of renewable, sustainable energy. Once operational the turbines are expected to

deliver an annual output of 11.70 MWh and provide an annual carbon saving of 6.29 tonnes.

Each turbine will be constructed on a helical pile foundation system that will replace

traditional concrete design foundations. The mast is mounted on a tripod which is located

on three helical piles. The piles are secured into the ground by rotation to a depth of

around three to four metres below ground level. Each foot rests on a pad, excavated to a

depth of 0.25m, and measuring approximately 0.6m by 0.5m. The piles are located

approximately 3m apart and can be removed by the same method, leaving no residual

structure upon decommissioning of the turbine. No concrete is used in any of the

installation process, the helical pile solution therefore presents minimal ground disturbance

and/or long term damage to the local environment.

1.4 Scope of the Coal Mining Risk Assessment

The purpose of this Coal Mining Risk Assessment Report is to:

Present a desk based review of all available information on the coal mining issues

which are relevant to the application site;

Use the information to identify and assess risks to the proposed development from

coal mining legacy, including the cumulative impact of issues;



Set out likely appropriate mitigation measures to address the coal mining legacy

issues affecting the site, including any necessary remedial works and/or demonstrate

how they have influenced the proposed development; and

Demonstrate to RBC that the application site is, or can be made safe and stable to

meet the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) with

regard to development on unstable land.

2. SOURCES OF INFORMATION

The following information sources have been used to inform this report.

Mining Report (Coal Search+ Report, Appendix 2);

BGS Published Geological Plans (Groundsure GeoInsight Report, Appendix 3);

Coal Authority guidance document “Risk Based Approach to Development

Management, Resources for Developers (2013)”; and

Windcrop Natural Energy, Design and Access Statement for Proposed Renewable

Energy System at Lower Dean Head, Dean, Bacup. 6th March 2013.

3. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING

3.1 Geology

3.1.1 Made Ground

Information provided in the Groundsure GeoInsight report (see Appendix 2) indicates that

Made Ground is not present at the site.

3.1.2 Superficial Deposits

The site is shown to be underlain by drift deposits comprising Glacial Till of Devensian age.

3.1.3 Bedrock

The bedrock beneath the site comprises the Pennine Lower Coal Measures formation of

Langsettian (Westphalian A) age. This comprises a sequence of mudstone, siltstone and

sandstone. Coal seams are recorded beneath the site.



3.2 Coal Mining

The coal mining report (see Appendix 2) obtained for the site identifies that coal has been

worked beneath the site in the past, with workings present in the Lower Mountain seam, the

last date of working being pre 1964. The depth to the seam is not provided, but, possible

shallow workings are noted within potential influencing distance of the site. The seam has

been worked to a thickness of 1.06m. The mining report states that all ground settlement

associated with the workings should have now ceased.

The mining report also notes that there are possible unrecorded ancient coal workings within

influencing distance of the site.

There are no known shafts or adits on, or within 20m of the site boundary. There are no

recorded tips or lagoons in the vicinity of the site.

3.3 Ground Workings

Information provided in the Groundsure GeoInsight report (see Appendix 3) identifies

numerous historic and current ground workings in the vicinity of the site, but not on the site

itself.

There are nine historic surface workings within 100m of the site to the north and north west,

comprising quarries and pits. Collieries are recorded within 150m to the north west of the

site at the closest point, and the greater site area features numerous air shafts relating to

coal workings.

4. IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT OF SITE SPECIFIC COAL

MINING RISKS

Table 1 summarises the potential risks associated with coal mining legacy for the proposed

development site, identified from the Coal Search+ mining report and the preceding

information.



Table 1

Coal Mining Issue Yes No Risk Assessment

Underground coal mining (recorded at shallow depths) x Potential for unstable ground at surface due to

shallow mining impact. Mining report identifies

that the site is at risk from workings in 1 seam of

coal, last worked pre-1964.

There is also the potential for ancient (i.e.

unrecorded) shallow workings

Underground coal mining (probable at shallow depths) x Potential for unstable ground at surface from

possible ancient shallow mining impact. Due to

the presence of potentially workable seams at

shallow depth it is possible that unknown workings

exist beneath the site area.

Mine entries (shafts and adits) x No mine entries (shafts/adits) recorded on, or

within 20m of the site boundary.

Coal mining geology x Faults not recorded on site.

Record of past mine gas emission or potential x Potential for mine gas emissions at surface. No

record of past mine gas emissions, but, worked

shallow seams are present that have the potential

to act as a pathway for mine gas to reach surface.

Recorded coal mining surface hazard x No surface hazard recorded.

Surface mining (opencast workings) x No past, present or future opencast sites recorded.

5. MITIGATION STRATEGY PROPOSED

5.1 Shallow Coal Mining

Intrusive investigation is required at the site to quantify the presence or otherwise of

worked shallow seams that have the potential to impact surface development. A rotary

borehole(s) will be sunk at the site to determine the exact depth to rockhead and the

amount of drift cover compared to rock.

In the event that subsurface voids are identified during the investigation that could impact

surface development, a subsequent drilling and grouting scheme may be required should

the voids be considered shallow enough to impact any future development.

5.2 Mine Gas

Due to the presence of shallow worked seams on the site, mine gas is a potential issue.

Mine gas predominantly comprises methane and carbon dioxide and has the potential to

affect surface development through explosion potential and asphyxiation risks.

In order to mitigate potential risks from mine gas (property and human health risks), the

development will have no subsurface features present where gas could collect and build up.



The turbines will be constructed on helical piles with pads constructed to an approximate

depth of 0.25m, any mine gas that reaches surface will vent to atmosphere and not impact

the development. The subsurface connection cable trench will be designed to mitigate

potential for gas build up.

5.3 The Coal Authority Permission

Coal Authority permission is required for drilling and treatment of mine workings for stability

purposes. An application for permission to enter or disturb Coal Authority interests will

therefore need to be submitted ahead of intrusive works being undertaken at the site.

6. CONCULSIONS

The site has possibly been impacted by coal mining and potential risks to surface stability

are present on the site in the form of a recorded worked coal seam (Lower Mountain seam,

worked to a thickness of 1.06m), and also from possible ancient coal workings that are not

recorded.

In order to quantify this further, intrusive investigation of the site will be implemented ahead

of development to determine if shallow workings are present that have the potential to

affect ground stability. If workings are identified within influencing distance of surface, then

a programme of drilling and grouting may be required.

Due to the possible presence of worked coal seams mine gas is also a potential issue.

However, it is considered that the development is not sensitive to mine gas, as it has no

subsurface features where gas could build up, and there is no point of entry on the structure

to humans, any gas reaching surface in the vicinity of the development would vent to

atmosphere.

It is considered that all potential risks associated from coal mining at the site can be

mitigated through the use of traditional engineering methods to make the site safe for

surface development.
